Do I need parental consent to travel from the US to Japan?

Question:


I'm 17 and I will be traveling to Japan soon. I heard that you need to get signed parental consent to travel to some countries, but I couldn't find information of if it is necessary in Japan.

My parents are willing to consent if necessary, but will I need to get some kind of official paperwork from like the Embassy or what do they need to do??

Answer:


It does not matter if the Japanese allow 17 year olds to travel without permission! You are not Japanese or traveling from Japan. American kids under 18 need a letter of parental permission and often cannot board an international flight without it. It is extremely simple. See site below for a form you can use.
